A Word From the Author:

“The next thing I’m going to want to show you is how to add your stems. For this part you’re going to need your rotary cutter. Remember I talked about the minivan and the maserati? This is where your sexy little italian sports car comes in handy. You can do a lot of really smooth freeform cutting with your rotary cutter.” Ã¢â‚¬â€ Sarah Ann Smith
